‎" Mechlinae ( Mechelen ), H. Dessain, sucessor P.J. Hanicq, 1855, in-folio, 39,5 x 27 cm, [1] (40) nn pp + 514 pp + CLIV pp ; [2] (4) nn pp + 26 pp + (70) nn pp ; [3] 110 pp + (20) nn pp. The first part [1] is the Mechlin Missale ; Part [2] Missale Romanum, cum Missis Eccl. Rotomagensi Propriis, Rouen, Fleury, 1861. Part [3] Missae Propriae Archi. Parisiensis-J.H. Guibert, Paris, Le Clere et Socii, 1873 Bound in black morooco, edges painted red, kept in a purposely made wooden box, lined with red velour. The book is in excellent condtion, notwithstanding some minor scratches at the binding and 1 tab which has come loose. The box is worn and a bit scruffy. Fine , important and unique specimen of a 19th c. illuminated missal, produced around 1860-1870 when the art of ''missal painting'' was at its highest level. As often with 19th c. illumination we were unable to identify the artist. The calender of the Mechlin missal contains some illuminated additions which most probably refer to the patron of the art work '' Em. de Trémauville de Beaucourt '' (uncertain ?). Missal [1] and [2] each are preceded by a separate manuscript title. All pages have different elaborate coloured borders. The initials are either figurative or heightened with gold and you find them on nearly every page. The subtitles and full page engravings ( 8 ) are all fully painted. The second missal [2] is printed on high quality vellum paper and is equally illuminated, allthough in a somewhat lighter style. Missal [3] with the addenda is not illuminated. A stunning example of the 19th c. revival of the art of illumination, finely preserved."‎
